Checking in sober and cigarette free :heavy_check_mark: Getting through the work week just fine. I feel a little lighter this week. When I was drinking and working fulltime I always felt like I had the weight of the world on my shoulders. It feels good to be free from that burden… @Dragonflygirl82 thinking about you and your family… sending strength everyone’s way :yellow_heart::dizzy:

OMG thank you for that @Lisa07 I’ve been feeling the same way ever since I moved into my new sober living place. I’ve been feeling so off, sad and lonely lol but I know it will pass and be ok. I went from 12 of us in a house with bunk beds to just me and another guy in a one bedroom apartment. There’s two beds in the room but I’m sleeping on the couch tonight because I feel closterphobic lol. Thank you for sharing with me what you went through it really helped! Have a great night my friend :sunglasses::metal:t2::sleeping::zzz::zzz::zzz::zzz:

Blessings and sobriety!

Joy, thank you for taking the time to reply. I do admire you and your check-ins. I used to be a decent runner before I took up abusing alcohol and cigarettes. You inspire me, and I hope you have a very blessed day!

@Bomdhil, we were sobriety twins. Getting ready to hit double digits in a few hours. I was a chronic relapser, and I understand how difficult this is. Sending you strength and peace. I do notice when you relapse, it isn’t for long, you have the courage to jump right back in and reset. That’s not the case for me. Take care of yourself!
@Dragonflygirl82, today and tomorrow will be tough days. I’ll be praying for you. Moose hit the dog lotto belonging to such a loving family. :pray::pray:

  1. Finished my coffee. Had fun having my friends over for dinner last night. Bought and served wine to the one guy who’s still drinking. A first for me since becoming sober 475 days ago. We talked about it a bit. It was fine.
    It’s blustery and wet today. Will head to the gym for some elliptical in an hour or so. Sober and clean. Have a good day all. Love from Amsterdam from Luna and me.

There’s an unopened bottle left and I intend to keep it so I can offer it to future guests. I feel strong enough in my sobriety for it now and I want to be able to offer my non-alcoholic friends a glass at dinner. But if this bottle under the kitchen sink starts occupying my mind in any way I’ll pour it out immediately. And I’m not recommending this action to anyone, it’s just my own way.
It’s different with smoking, I don’t want any smoking in my home since I quit, but that’s mainly because of finding it repulsive, and not wanting to inhale second hand smoke and have the tar on my walls, windows and furniture. I do have some cigarettes laying around for about a year now that I keep forgetting to take to work to give to some of my poorest tobacco addicted residents. Thanks for reminding me, I’m putting them in my backpack for tomorrow right now. Smoking’s just not an issue to me no more and I hope I’m getting there with alcohol too. Maybe it’s a bit early for that, will see how it goes.
@Lhasaluv Huge congrats on your birthday and 63 days of sobriety Sandi!

The question we all had in mind :rofl:
@Mno I was asking myself how much do you think about it since you bought it / it is left in the house?

EDIT: just red your message, I get it. Good for you and good choice. But please don’t let that grow in your head in any ways!

Day 235. Hit a meeting last night which I was avoiding them bc I was holding a resentment against one of the guys. I put my ego aside and just realized not everything can go my way. I have not been posting much bc I dont always want to complain, my mom was accusing me of relapsing the other day which made things worse for me. luckily rather then using it at as a exuse to relapse I just let her believe what she wants. I passed my piss test for my therapist so now she can send the stuff in for my license. Things are good, even when they are bad. It’s still better then being in active addiction. Hope you all have a good day much love

So far so good Wcan. But I never was an early day drinker, in the morning it used to be pot smoking for me. Will see how this goes at night. Please don’t get any ideas from this. This is my thing and only mine.
@anon60334405 You’re doing good Mike. Proud of you. Be proud yourself. Life is life and we’re living it sober which is much better.

Man, post here whenever you want to complain. Don’t fight alone, it can be a dangerous path you know it…

And like you said, not everybody and everything (like in your aa group/ your mom) is going to think and be on the same mark as you are. It can, is and will be hard to face that truth, sober or not. And not using it as an excuse to relapse shows a lot on the work you’re doing. Not only not using it, but still going after it: going to aa, posting here anyways, doing your tests, lifting your weight… Maybe things aren’t all good, but seems to me you do good to yourself.
Hope you have a good day too,
